Concrete is entering a new era of development with worldwide implications under radically new circumstances. What are the futures of concrete in architecture and engineering in terms of emerging technologies of reinforcement, material science, emerging markets and capitalization, geographic production, installation, and environmental impact? Where will innovation happen and what will instigate potentials in design and engineering? The goal of this conference is to unleash new understandings of this globally pervasive, yet ever evolving and surprising material.
